@drhettie absolutely. White Supremacy took the gloves ( such as they were) off and is waging all out war

@drhettie make no mistake - they are related. Just as the rise of holocaust denial is related to increased antisemitism. It is time to stop being quiet.

@drhettie a big part of learning and reading is to be uncomfortable; that's how you develop empathy and hopefully learn from the past, from other people's experiences, to make the world better for all. By denying students that feeling of uncomfortableness creates a group of privileged narcissists.

@drhettie Zora Neale Hurston said, "If you're silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it.”

It's quite apparent that the likes of Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott want to erase history itself so they can be free to spout their lies anyway.
